At first, I thought this was going to be a documentary about extreme haunts, of which I am no fan. But it isn’t. It is, in fact an original idea. This doesn’t happen often enough in horror, and I am thrilled. I know it won’t be released here, but I’m excited to see it later.

The Bongcheon-Dong Ghost is one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen on the web. It’s stuck with me, after I watched it the last time Art of Darkness linked it. Now, she’s found a couple more. Ghost in the Masung Tunnel is my favorite of the two new ones.

I am not the only lover of dolls among the creepsters. She Walks Softly does a nice profile on Dustin Poche.

Yong Ho Ji makes elaborate, creepy sculptures from recycled tires.

7 actual cursed objects. Found this article as I was looking for info on the Woman from Lemb. Are they cursed? I want to believe.

The Skull of Frankenstein’s Monster.

Lance Cardinal wanted to do some stop-motion with The Nightmare Before Christmas characters. So he made his own.

I was asked to share some of my favorite Halloween wallpapers. Here are a bunch I marked on a browse through dA.

Darklinks has a nice roundup of scary television coming this fall.

A nightwatchman disturbs a body-snatcher who has dropped the stolen corpse he had been carrying in a hamper, while the anatomist runs away. Etching with engraving by W. Austin, 1773.

Wellcome Library releases over 100,000 medical history images. I’m linking to an article rather than Wellcome, as their navigation can use a little explanation.

Scare Factory is not exactly an unknown prop maker. What I didn’t realize is how much fun it is to watch their prop videos.

Catherine Gretschel makes amazing masks. Via Pumpkinrot.

Boy howdy to I want to see this. Looks like I’ll have to wait a while. Via rot again.

Seattle friends, you have my envy. Your first Halloween art show is now accepting applications.

Where else can you get museum quality skull casts? Okay, a few places. Extremely detailed for your more persnickety haunter.

Fantastic props and bits for your haunt or your home.

A bit on turn-of-the-century ghost rides by The Year of Halloween.

Feel like a spooky princess with this bat headband.

The Halloween Art Guild is a small community of spooky artists. I’ve been a member a while, yet I’m terrible about uploading my stuff. If you would like an invite, leave a comment.
